Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme: 30 Hong Kong Students Embarked on a Study Tour in Chaoshan

HONG KONG, Aug 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ‘A Thousand Years of Chaozhou Flavour, A Legacy Passed Down Through Generations.’ As one of the three major branches of Cantonese cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine is distinguished by its refined techniques and delicate seafood dishes, with an emphasis on the purity of flavour and meticulous preparation, all reflecting a deep-rooted cultural heritage. In this spirit, and to encourage the exchange of culinary skills, the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation once again partnered with the Chinese Culinary Institute to launch the ‘Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme — Chaoshan Edition’. From 26 July to 2 August, a group of about 30 students and faculty members travelled to Shantou to immerse themselves in the essence of Chaoshan cuisine and directly engage with its rich intangible heritage.Building on the success of last year’s ‘Lingnan Culture: Fengcheng Dim Sum Training Programme’, this year's initiative took students to another culinary heartland — Shantou. The programme was conducted in collaboration with Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, a prestigious institution known for cultivating master chefs in Cantonese cuisine, and was supported by the Teochew Cuisine Research Institutes. The classes, led by nationally and provincially accredited chefs, including the renowned Teochew culinary master ZHONG Chengquan, covered traditional techniques such as braising, boiling, stir-frying, steaming, stewing, baking, and deep-frying. Students also gained firsthand experience with the intangible cultural heritage, specifically Chaoshan Gongfu Tea.A Curriculum that Blended Culinary Training with Cultural ImmersionDuring the eight-day programme, students learned to prepare a wide range of classic Teochew dishes, from appetisers and main courses to snacks and desserts. Culinary highlights included crab in fermented soybean sauce, Teochew marinated meats, braised duck with herbs, stir-fried beef with rice noodles, crispy oyster pancake, roast goose with yam paste, flash-fried squid rolls, traditional steamed fish, braised eel, sesame dumplings, and deep-fried spring rolls. This hands-on training strengthened the students' knowledge of authentic Chaoshan culinary techniques and flavours.The programme also offered cultural excursions that deepened students’ understanding of local heritage, including visits to the Chaoshan History and Culture Exhibition Centre and the Teochew Cuisine Research Institute, along with a live Yingge Dance performance — another of China’s intangible cultural heritage traditions.Ms Dionne KUNG, Deputy CEO of the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation, and Mr James YAP Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, visited the training site to offer encouragement to the students. Ms Kung expressed that the GBA Youth Foundation has a longstanding commitment to supporting experiential learning and cross-regional exchange for youth. She noted that this invaluable opportunity to learn from master chefs not only enabled students to appreciate the essence of Chaoshan cuisine but also enhanced their comprehension of Chinese culture and strengthened their sense of national identity through meaningful engagement.Mr James YAP Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, shared, ‘Chaoshan cuisine emphasises precision in knife skills, heat control, and balanced ingredient pairing. Through hands-on learning and exchanges with experienced chefs, students not only refined their culinary techniques but also deepened their appreciation of Chinese food culture. This experience broadened their horizons and laid a solid foundation for their future professional growth.’Mr CHEN Shaojun, Founder of the National-level Chaoshan Cuisine Culinary Master Studio at Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, remarked, ‘Chaoshan cuisine embodies a craftsmanship spirit passed down through generations. The enthusiasm and dedication displayed by the Hong Kong students during the programme are inspiring. We look forward to future collaborations that will further promote Chaoshan culture and introduce it to a broader stage.’XU Kin Cheung, a year 2 student from the Chinese Culinary Institute's Diploma in Chinese Cuisine (QF Level 3) programme who participated in this training, shared, ‘This experience enhanced my knowledge of Chaoshan cuisine, from its precise cooking techniques to its refined approach to flavour. I hope to incorporate these insights into my own creations back in Hong Kong and help more people discover the unique charm of Chaoshan culinary culture.’Through the Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme, the GBA Youth Community Foundation aims not only to enhance the skills of young people pursuing careers in the culinary arts, but also to foster their appreciation for and commitment to preserving and promoting the richness of Chinese culinary heritage.Ms Dionne Kung, Deputy CEO of the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation visited the training site to offer encouragement to the students.Students from the Chinese Culinary Institute demonstrated dedication and enthusiasm during the training programme.This programme is in collaboration with Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, Mr James Yap Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, also visited the training site to engage with college representatives and culinary instructors.Students also took part in cultural learning activities, including a live performance of the Yingge Dance, one of China’s intangible cultural heritage traditions.

The company is collaborating with local partners and government agencies to gradually supply its core products, focusing on high-hygiene multi-use facilities, including hospitals, schools, food factories, and logistics warehouses. One of DAESHIN MC's flagship products, 'SoleCheck', is a smart suction mat that automatically removes dust and contaminants from shoe soles simply by walking across it.

Another key product, 'Caster Cleaner', is the world's first system for automatically cleaning logistics cart wheels. Based on an eco-friendly design that recycles sludge, along with a forward-drive structure and high-power brushes, it operates reliably even in Southeast Asia's hot and humid climate.

Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Conducts Shakedown Ahead of Asia Cross Country Rally 2025: Targeting First Overall Championship in Three Years

Team Mitsubishi RalliartTOKYO, August 7, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) announced that Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, which receives technical support from the company, will compete in the upcoming Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR) 2025 scheduled for August 8 to 16 in Thailand1. The team will enter three Triton2 pickup trucks, aiming for its first overall championship in three years.In early June, the team conducted high-load endurance tests simulating actual rally conditions on off-road courses around Khao Yai National Park in central Thailand, covering distances that exceeded the expected length of this year's Special Stages. Throughout the testing, the team fine-tuned the suspension and other chassis components, while also verifying the reliability and durability of the engine and body.On August 5, three days before the start of the rally, the team carried out a shakedown at a test course in Thailand to check each part of the vehicle, ensuring it is in optimal condition for the 2025 competition."Building on the significant upgrade in driving performance last year, the Triton rally car has undergone further enhancements for this year's AXCR," said Hiroshi Masuoka, team director of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart. "In addition to increasing engine torque and improving durability, we have refined the chassis to enhance both steering stability during high-speed cornering and reliable traction in muddy terrain. The rally will take place in northeastern Thailand, a landscape with sprawling plantations and flat dirt roads. This means we can expect high-speed racing, and I am confident that our refined chassis will demonstrate its strengths. One of our rally cars serving as a support vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission (AT). We aim to successfully navigate the harsh conditions of the AXCR, verify the durability and reliability of the AT model, and gather feedback to apply to our future vehicle development. I hope we can showcase the strength and audacity of Mitsubishi Motors-ness by reclaiming the overall victory for the first time in three years."Overview of AXCR 2025This year marks the 30th anniversary of the AXCR, drawing a significantly larger number of participants - 93 vehicles in total: 47 in the Auto category, 44 in the Moto category, and 2 in the Sidecar category. The rally will kick off with a ceremonial start at Walking Street in the city of Pattaya, one of Thailand's major tourist destinations on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The rally proper begins with Leg 1 to Prachin Buri, approximately 130 kilometers from Bangkok. Leg 2 runs from Prachin Buri to Khao Yai, one of Thailand's leading highland resort areas, while Leg 3 takes place within Khao Yai. Leg 4 returns to Prachin Buri, and the rally will remain in the Prachin Buri area for Legs 5 and 6. In Leg 7, the rally returns to the starting point in Pattaya, and on the final day, Leg 8 finishes at the Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya.Overview of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Support CarsFour Delica D:5s will once again assist Team Mitsubishi Ralliart as support cars. Team engineers will wait for the rally cars at the Passage Controls located along the course and perform maintenance on the cars returning from the Special Stages. This means that the support cars carrying the team director and engineers must be able to reach their destinations without fail, regardless of road conditions.The Delica D:5 is an all-around minivan featuring a robust body with a rib-bone frame and an electronically-controlled 4WD system that provides optimal maneuverability and road handling in a variety of weather and road conditions. Having operated as the support car for Team Mitsubishi Ralliart in the AXCR since 2023, it will once again be used this year by Team Director Hiroshi Masuoka to inspect the rally course. In order to enhance handling on rough terrain, the vehicle is equipped with an aluminum engine guard and is lifted by approximately 20 millimeters using dedicated front and rear suspension.The support cars will also share the same livery as the Triton rally cars this year, featuring the team's signature energetic red and a digital sandstorm graphic that evokes swirling dust, stretching from the front to the center of the vehicle. The Ralliart logo is displayed on both sides of the body.Updates on the rally will be posted on Ralliart's official Instagram account. https://www.instagram.com/ralliart.official/AXCR Special Website: https://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/brand/ralliart/axcr/axcr2025/1.

Innovative Warehouse Solutions Partners with Passport to Expand Seamless Global Fulfillment

Farmingdale, NY – August 08, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) –Innovative Warehouse Solutions (IWS), a leading U.S.-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Passport, a premier international shipping carrier. This collaboration enhances IWS’s capabilities to offer clients streamlined global distribution through Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) and Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) services. With this new alliance, IWS clients can now reach customers in over 180 countries via DDP, simplifying and accelerating cross-border e-commerce fulfillment like never before. Known for its technology-forward fulfillment solutions across apparel, beauty, health, and merchandise sectors, IWS continues to invest in infrastructure and partnerships that offer clients greater speed, transparency, and reliability. By integrating Passport’s advanced international logistics technology directly into its operations, IWS is setting a new standard for seamless global shipping and enhanced customer experiences. Insights from Brian Gibbons, CEO of Innovative Warehouse Solutions To shed light on the importance of this partnership, Brian Gibbons, CEO of IWS, shared his perspective: “Brian, what was the main goal for IWS behind this new partnership?” “Over the past few years, we’ve optimized our domestic shipping partnerships, ensuring efficiency, speed, and reliability. However, international fulfillment has always felt a little off — like we were wearing running shoes for domestic shipping and wooden clogs for international. International shipping is inherently more complex, even before recent global tariff changes. Our previous partners could clear customs and complete deliveries, but the experience was not as frictionless or brand-centric as we wanted it to be for our clients.” “Do you believe Passport can prevent this friction?” “Absolutely. Passport has built a technology and logistics company focused solely on the needs of international e-commerce brands. Their backend systems are light years ahead of anything else we’ve seen. What’s even more impressive is their confidence — they don’t just promise good service; they take full responsibility by handling customer support for delivery issues on behalf of the brand. In a logistics environment where margins are razor thin, that commitment says everything about their capabilities and their technology stack.” “Beyond fewer issues in shipping, what other features made Passport stand out to IWS?” “The technology doesn’t just help us internally — it’s a powerful tool for our clients too. Brands can seamlessly integrate Passport’s systems into their own websites. They can display local currencies, like AUD for Australian shoppers, and give customers real-time, accurate shipping rates that include duties and taxes if they choose DDP. This reduces cart abandonment, eliminates unpleasant surprises at delivery, and ultimately protects brands’ margins by ensuring full transparency.” “Anything else your clients will benefit from?” “Definitely. For one, clients who first import goods into the U.S. and then re-export internationally can claw back a significant portion of previously paid duties and taxes — a huge financial advantage. Passport can even serve as the seller of record, making it easier to comply with country-specific tax regulations and reducing administrative burden for brands.” “Another major feature is the custom-branded tracking pages Passport offers. Instead of generic carrier tracking portals, brands can fully customize the tracking experience. They can embed promotions, videos, QR codes, or direct links to their social media pages, turning the shipping experience into a marketing channel. The tracking itself is more robust too, offering more scan events and better visibility, which minimizes customer anxiety and keeps the brand front and center during the entire delivery journey. No other carrier we’ve seen offers this level of integration and brand enhancement.” About Passport Passport is a modern international shipping carrier specializing in e-commerce logistics. Their services include comprehensive customs management, compliance support, localized customer service, and real-time tracking. With DDP services, Passport allows brands to offer upfront duty and tax payment options to international customers, eliminating unexpected fees and smoothing the delivery experience. Their DDU services provide additional flexibility for brands preferring recipient-based duty management. Serving over 220 global markets, Passport’s platform is built to make international shipping as seamless and brand-aligned as domestic delivery. About Innovative Warehouse Solutions Innovative Warehouse Solutions (IWS) is a technology-driven third-party logistics provider specializing in comprehensive fulfillment services for both B2C and B2B clients. Known for its robust inventory management systems, seamless API integrations, and deep vertical-specific expertise across apparel, beauty, health, and consumer goods industries, IWS is committed to delivering scalable solutions that support brands through every stage of growth. With a relentless focus on efficiency, transparency, and innovation, IWS helps brands optimize their operations and expand into new markets confidently.

Mainland consumers have a high level of trust in Hong Kong brands and hold products in high regard. This provides a solid foundation for Hong Kong businesses to expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. Hong Kong businesses can leverage the advantage of Hong Kong brands and choose suitable platforms for e-commerce sales. The upcoming release of the E-commerce Case Studies report will focus on ways to develop e-commerce retail sales and serve as a reference for Hong Kong businesses looking to expand their market in the Mainland.HKTDC Director of Research, Irina Fan, said: “Mainland consumers shop online frequently, averaging 9.4 purchases per month. This is particularly true for those in tier-one and Greater Bay Area (GBA) cities. When shopping online, Mainland consumers’ primary consideration is whether the products are genuine, not low prices. This suggests that Hong Kong businesses can leverage the superior quality of Hong Kong products and the strong reputation of Hong Kong brands in Mainland China to expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. They can flexibly use comprehensive shelf and ‘interest-based’ e-commerce platforms to sell online along with methods such as live-streaming and short videos for promotion, and stand out in the highly competitive market through targeted marketing strategies.”HKTDC Research commissioned an agency to conduct a survey of 2,200 middle-income or above consumers from different Mainland cities during the second and third quarters of 2024. The aim was to learn about their online consumption habits, as well as their preferences regarding Hong Kong products. The findings will help Hong Kong companies better formulate appropriate strategies to tap the Mainland e-commerce retail market.Online shopping characteristics of Mainland consumers- Mainland consumers shop online frequently, averaging 9.4 purchases per month. This is particularly true for those in tier-one cities. Shopping frequency among women (10 times monthly) is higher than for men (8.8 times). By age group, consumers aged 30-49 demonstrate the highest online shopping frequency, averaging 11.2 purchases per month.- Comprehensive e-commerce platforms are the predominant online shopping channel, with 95% of respondents using comprehensive/digital shelf e-commerce platforms to shop online. This figure far exceeds the use of live-streaming/short video platforms (38%) and group buying platforms (32%). In terms of online shopping for cross-border or imported products, consumers prefer to use Tmall International or JD International, with 73% and 63% respectively choosing these platforms. Other notable platforms include Douyin E-commerce Global (30%) and Amazon China (21%).- Authenticity, wide selection and reputation are top considerations for online shopping. An authenticity guarantee policy (15%), reputable merchants (11%) and wide product selection (9%) are the top three considerations for respondents when purchasing online.- “Promotion” is the most important factor for consumers when buying newly-launched products online. Nearly 90% of respondents cited “promotion” as their primary consideration, followed by product quality and design (70%).- Mainland consumers demand quick delivery. Mainland online shoppers, on average, get their products 3.2 days after placing an order, with fast fulfilment a key competitive advantage in winning over local consumers.Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China) of HKTDC, said: “Although online purchasing power currently clusters around tier-one and tier-two cities, the tier-three cities are becoming a focus for Hong Kong companies. Furthermore, irrespective of whether they are shopping locally or from further afield, consumers generally demand quick delivery, and their expectations in this regard continue to rise. The Hong Kong products that Mainland consumers most like to buy online are consumer electronics and electrical products (72%), followed by luxury goods (46%) and fashion products (41%).” It’s worth noting that Mainland consumers who purchase Hong Kong products online tend to spend a higher average order amount on children's products, drugs and health supplements, and pet products compared to the overall average.”Hong Kong products favored by Mainland Consumers- Mainland online shoppers generally like Hong Kong products, particularly those in areas with higher consumption levels. Overall, 78% of respondents had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year. The proportion was 85% in tier-one cities, 81% in the Greater Bay Area, 78% in tier-two cities and 74% in tier-three cities.- Hong Kong products are more favoured by young consumers. In terms of age distribution, 83% of respondents in the 18-29 age group said they had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year. This was closely followed by consumers aged 30-49 (82%), while the proportion among consumers above 50 years old was lower (65%).- Female consumers in high-consumption areas tend to prefer Hong Kong products. While overall gender differences are minimal – 77% of male and 79% of female respondents reported purchasing Hong Kong products – the trend varies by region. In tier-one and tier-two cities, and in the GBA, significantly more female consumers have bought Hong Kong products online.- Mainland online shoppers hold positive views of Hong Kong products, brands and online stores. The respondents gave an average score of 8.7 to Hong Kong products when compared with other products. Respondents from tier-three cities gave the highest score of 9.2. In terms of age, consumers aged 18-29 gave Hong Kong products the highest rating of 8.9.- Mainland online shoppers mostly buy electronic, luxury and fashion goods from Hong Kong. The Hong Kong products that Mainland consumers most like to buy online are consumer electronics and electrical products (72%), followed by luxury goods (46%) and fashion products (41%). The GBA has the highest proportion of consumers buying consumer electronics and electrical products (79%), followed closely by tier-one cities (78%). The proportion of consumers buying luxury goods in tier-one cities (53%), the GBA (52%) and tier-two cities (51%) are comparable.- Orders in food and drug sectors, and of products for children and pets, exceed the overall average. Among Mainland shoppers who have bought Hong Kong products online, the average order value for children’s goods is 24% higher than the average. Orders of drug and health products (16%), pet products (29%), and fresh produce and food (18%) are also significantly higher in value than the average.- The Hong Kong “brand” enjoys a good reputation in the Mainland market and is widely seen as a mark of trust and quality. When asked to describe Hong Kong merchandise, brands and products, respondents viewed products from Hong Kong as “in compliance with stringent product safety standards” (28%), “guaranteed raw material/material quality” (28%), “guaranteed genuine products” (27%), “confidence in quality” (27%) and “fashionable look” (27%).- Mainland consumers seek out official brand channels. Mainland consumers obtain information from official brand channels when choosing Hong Kong electronics and electrical products (31%), luxury items (34%), sports products (34%) and fashion products (26%). They rely heavily on product reviews when purchasing Hong Kong drug and health products (34%) and beauty products (32%) online.Eric Chu, Economist (Greater China) of HKTDC, said: “Based on case studies of e-commerce retailers and service providers in Mainland China, Hong Kong businesses might consider using multi-channel operation strategies. This includes leveraging both traditional digital shelves platforms and emerging ‘interest-based‘ platforms to reach different consumer groups and increase traffic. However, some cases show that while businesses can collaborate with influencers/KOLs for "influencer marketing," it's important to base these efforts on market analysis and data to select influencer endorsements that suit their products. This approach improves promotional accuracy and achieves cost-effective, optimal marketing results.”HKTDC will later release an additional report titled "Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market - Case Studies," which includes detailed case studies of e-commerce activities and service providers in Mainland China.The second Hong Kong Shopping Festival aims to help local businesses navigate Mainland China e-commerceThe second Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) will take place on Mainland e-commerce platforms from 1 to 31 August.

Kremlin Confirms Trump-Putin Meeting Set for ‘Coming Days’

A senior Kremlin aide announced that Donald Trump is set to meet Vladimir Putin, marking what would be the first in-person encounter between an American and Russian President in several years. “At the suggestion of the American side, an agreement has been reached in principle to hold a bilateral meeting at the highest level in the coming days,” Russian news agencies were informed on Thursday. Trump had recently indicated that a meeting could occur soon. “We had some very productive talks with President Putin today and there’s a strong chance that we could be concluding that path,” he stated in the Oval Office on Wednesday evening. Ushakov mentioned that a venue for the meeting has already been chosen, with details to be disclosed later. He did not specify when this information would be released. However, Ushakov also downplayed the likelihood of a potential trilateral meeting that included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, an idea proposed by Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, according to . Witkoff met with Putin in Moscow on Wednesday in what Trump characterized as a “highly productive meeting” . “We propose, first and foremost, to concentrate on preparing a bilateral meeting with Trump and we consider it most important that this meeting proves successful and productive,” Ushakov said. This news comes following President Trump’s deadline for Russia to agree to a cease-fire deal with Ukraine or face punitive sanctions. It remains unclear if Trump’s cease-fire deadline is still in effect. Trump was questioned on July 14 about the extent he’d be willing to go to defend Ukraine if Putin escalated attacks despite his cease-fire deadline, which was originally set for September 2 before being moved up to Friday. “I want to see the war settled … I have a concern, and [Vice President] J.D. [Vance] has a concern—they’re not Americans dying, but many people are dying over something that should be settled,” he said. Trump has previously faced criticism for his approach to Putin, whom Western officials accuse of delaying negotiations to allow Russian forces to capture more Ukrainian territory. Putin has consistently given little indication of willingness to offer concessions. On Thursday, at least six people were killed and another 35 injured across Ukraine as Russia launched overnight attacks in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions. The attacks were part of 723 strikes across 12 settlements in Zaporizhzhia Oblast in the last 24 hours, according to regional .

Eli Lilly Reports Its New Weight-Loss Pill Demonstrates Strong Efficacy

According to eagerly anticipated findings from a recent study, pharmaceutical firm Eli Lilly announced that a drug its researchers created led to substantial weight reduction in individuals who are overweight or obese but not diabetic. This medication, named orforglipron, varies from Lilly’s injectable treatment, tirzepatide (marketed as Mounjaro for and Zepbound for and certain forms of ). Tirzepatide acts on two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, whereas orforglipron exclusively targets GLP-1. Lilly and rival pharmaceutical companies have been striving to produce oral weight-loss medications, as weekly injections can be undesirable for patients. The study involved over 3,100 adults who were overweight or obese, possessing an obesity-related medical condition but not diabetes. Participants who took the daily pill for nearly 18 months experienced an average weight loss of 12% of their body weight, equating to 27 pounds. Individuals on a placebo, in contrast, lost slightly more than two pounds. While these results are not yet published in a peer-reviewed journal, they are scheduled for presentation in September at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes's annual conference. Based on these outcomes, Lilly stated its intention to seek approval for orforglipron from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for obesity treatment before year-end. Should it gain approval, Lilly anticipates making the pills available by the following year. The company is awaiting comprehensive findings from a parallel weight-loss study in diabetic patients; data released in April suggested the drug assisted individuals with diabetes in reducing their blood sugar levels. Dr. Dan Skovronsky, Lilly’s chief scientific officer, commented, “The outcomes we obtained are as favorable as can be attained with an oral small molecule GLP-1. The safety, tolerability, and effectiveness were consistent with what we achieved with the injectable medication, but are now provided in a convenient, once-daily pill.” Skovronsky highlighted that among participants in the study who received the drug, cardiac disease risk factors including, triglycerides, blood pressure, and a marker of, also decreased. This reinforces prior data indicating that GLP-1 medications can similarly reduce heart disease risk. Similar to the injectable version, individuals taking the pills were required to gradually escalate their dosage until reaching the maximum, primarily to alleviate gastrointestinal side effects. Within the study, participants began with 6 mg, escalated to 12 mg after four weeks, and then to the 36 mg maintenance dose four weeks subsequent to that. Skovronsky stated that orforglipron’s side effect pattern mirrored that of injectable drugs, which he found encouraging. He remarked, “I had two primary concerns. Firstly, taking something orally exposes the stomach and intestines to a greater drug concentration. If side effects originate there, the oral form might exacerbate them. However, this proved not to be the situation.” Furthermore, the implications of missed doses by study participants were uncertain, given the occasional difficulty of daily pill adherence. Due to the meticulous dose titration, Skovronsky noted it was unknown if individuals missing pills for several days would lose their developed tolerance to side effects and need to restart their dosing regimen. He reported, “We observed that the side effects resembled those of injections, despite occasional missed doses.” Novo Nordisk, a rival company producing Ozempic for diabetes and Wegovy for weight control, also possesses an oral version of its active compound, semaglutide, which is already. The company has sought approval for treating obesity in non-diabetic individuals and anticipates a ruling before the year concludes. Should orforglipron receive approval, it could enhance the availability of GLP-1 medications across the U.S. and globally. The oral drug is more economical than the injectable form, as it bypasses the need for a sterile injection pen. Additionally, some individuals are hesitant about weekly self-injections, making an oral administration a desirable alternative. As medical professionals and patients increasingly determine optimal GLP-1 drug usage for weight management, a pill could either initiate weight loss or serve as a component of a sustained maintenance plan for those who have reached their target weight. Skovronsky stated, “This allows us to intervene earlier in the disease progression, as individuals sometimes postpone injections until the condition – obesity, in this instance – becomes more severe. Our aim is to address obesity at its initial phases, and this presents an excellent chance to do so.” Skovronsky added that Lilly is also investigating weight-maintenance strategies using orforglipron.

Lana Nathe, Founder and Principal Designer at Light Insight Design Studio Inc. in Boston, encountered a distinct lighting challenge at the Harvard Alumni Club. She was tasked with illuminating a nine-foot painting and first explored ceiling-mounted or direct wall-mounted lighting. Nevertheless, architectural constraints rendered both options impractical. The sole available resource was an existing wall outlet box with a standard switch—the starting point for an innovative solution. “Light reveals shape, surface, and color; it shapes our individual perception and offers a shared language. Art flourishes when seen in its truest form through light. Excellent lighting should seamlessly integrate, avoiding distracting hot spots and scallops,” commented Lana Nathe.

SavvySME Becomes SavvyKai: A Rebrand Reflecting a Core Shift in Small Business Growth Support

Sydney, New South Wales Aug 7, 2025  - For more than ten years, SavvySME functioned as a community hub for small enterprises throughout Australia. It facilitated connections among business owners, consultants, service providers, and fellow entrepreneurs, enabling them to exchange insights, seek advice, and assist each other in developing their ventures. The platform was created to be accessible, welcoming, and comprehensive, catering to individuals at any stage of their entrepreneurial path. However, as time progressed, a distinct trend began to materialize. The companies consistently utilizing the platform were not those in their initial stages, nor were they casual entrepreneurs or novice freelancers. Instead, they were dynamic businesses, typically employing five, ten, or twenty individuals. Many were self-funded, frequently experiencing rapid expansion, and often encountering difficulties in securing appropriate specialized assistance precisely when needed. These businesses had progressed past the startup phase but had not yet reached a size where they could justify a full-time Chief Marketing Officer, an ongoing consultant, or an expensive agency. Their requirement was for specialists, not merely for specific tasks, but for guidance, execution, and clear direction. Furthermore, they sought this support from individuals who grasped the challenges of scaling a business while still being heavily involved in daily operations. Concurrently, the community of experts on the platform also underwent a transformation. There were fewer independent freelancers and a greater presence of small firms, specialized operators, and experienced professionals who had departed larger organizations to establish their own independent practices or niche agencies. Their objective was not price competition, but rather to collaborate with clients who appreciated results and had confidence in their methodologies. This convergence point, where businesses encountered the intricacies of growth and experts possessed the knowledge to guide them through that period, laid the groundwork for a new venture. It became evident that SavvySME, both in its name and organizational framework, no longer accurately represented the platform's evolution. While it still evoked a sense of general guidance and open discussion, its users had progressed. They sought greater specialization, tangible results, a more straightforward method for locating the appropriate expert or project, and a system capable of eliminating irrelevant information. Consequently, in 2025, SavvySME was rebranded as SavvyKai. The new nomenclature is more than a superficial change. It signifies a fundamental reorientation of the platform centered on a primary principle: assisting businesses in their growth phase to identify suitable expert collaborators who can help them achieve their next stage of development. "Kai" is a term with various cross-cultural interpretations, yet in Japanese, it frequently denotes change, renewal, or enhancement—a deliberate transition from one condition to another. This precisely mirrors what the platform endeavors to facilitate: the juncture at which a business transcends fragmented systems and informal outsourcing, beginning to construct with greater organization and purpose. It also subtly refers to value, not in an inexpensive context, but in terms of clarity. What is the true worth of this undertaking? What objectives are we striving to accomplish? Who possesses the optimal qualifications for this task? SavvyKai is designed to simplify the process of answering these inquiries. The platform now exclusively targets: Businesses prepared for expansion, generally employing 5 to 20 individuals, confronting strategic choices concerning marketing, human resources, operations, finance, or core systems. Verified experts and boutique firms, comprising professionals experienced in collaborating with scaling businesses who can provide comprehensive results, beyond mere deliverables. A systematic matching framework, enabling businesses to submit a project outline and be connected with pertinent experts based on contextual understanding rather than simple keyword matches. This is not a temporary job market. There are no competitive bidding processes, no unidentified profiles, and no downward pressure on pricing. Each expert undergoes a thorough vetting process. Every client benefits from transparency. And every connection initiates with dialogue, preceding any financial exchange. This transformation also highlights a wider reality within the business-to-business sector: the majority of companies in their growth phase are inadequately supported by current platforms. Conventional freelance websites are excessively unstructured, disorderly, and oriented towards discrete tasks. Consulting agencies are either too costly, primarily cater to larger corporations, or lack interest in clients of this scale. While referrals are beneficial, they are neither consistently accessible nor scalable. SavvyKai is constructing the intermediary infrastructure—a global, verified platform for expert collaboration, tailored specifically for small businesses undergoing transformation. The alteration of the name serves as an indicator of this precise focus. For existing users of SavvySME, a significant portion of what made the platform valuable persists. The community remains central, and trust continues to be a fundamental element. However, the operational scope has evolved, user expectations have shifted, and the methodologies businesses employ to resolve issues are also undergoing change. This rebranding initiative aims to directly address that evolving dynamic. Because business growth is intricate, unpredictable, and often presents situations where the subsequent step is unclear. SavvyKai is designed to introduce organization into such instances, by linking suitable challenges with appropriate individuals, at the opportune moment, using the most effective framework. While the name may be novel, the core mission—to render expert assistance more approachable, better synchronized, and more impactful for those cultivating the next wave of small enterprises—remains unaltered. Now, it is simply more refined. Visit us: Media ContactSavvyKai Source :SavvyKai

US Slaps 50% Tariff Hike on Indian Imports Over Russian Oil Purchases

The United States government has increased tariffs on India by 25%, bringing the total to 50%, following India's purchase of oil from Russia.Washington, D.C. – August 7, 2025 – President Donald Trump has imposed an additional 25% tariff on India in response to its purchase of Russian oil. The new tariffs, effective from August 27th, will result in a 50% tariff on Indian imports to the US. This decision has surprised many, and the Indian foreign ministry responded on Wednesday, calling the tariff "unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable." A statement indicated that "It is extremely unfortunate that the US would impose additional tariffs on India for actions that other countries are also undertaking in their own national interest. India will take all necessary actions to protect its national interests." The United States opposes Russia in the Ukraine-Russia war, leading to the tariff increase due to India's business dealings with Russia. The president reportedly stated that he does not "care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine." A statement released by the White House on Wednesday stated that the "Russian Federation's actions in Ukraine pose an ongoing threat to US national security and foreign policy, necessitating stronger measures to address the national emergency." The US government also asserted that India's imports from Russia are disrupting US efforts to counter Russia in the war against Ukraine. As Russia is a major oil and gas exporter, many countries are purchasing from them. The US government stated it will "recommend further actions to the President as needed" for countries doing business with Russia. This uncertainty has caused concern within the Indian ministry. However, Ajay Srivastava, former Indian trade official and head of GTRI, advised, "India should remain calm, avoid retaliation for at least six months, and recognise that meaningful trade negotiations with the US cannot proceed under threats or mistrust."Media ContactDaniel Martin Source :Daniel Martin ```
